Originally posted by Shug I think they're making a critique of the way our society manufactures normally unwanted and unneeded desire for no other purpose that to serve its own ends, to feed its own hype. By smashing it in front of the lines, they're trying to promote outrage and an overreaction - and thereby show how ridiculous that response's justification is. It's metal, plastic, and circuit boards, nothing more. People who forget that are the ones that wait in line for days on end to get one on the very first day, or spend multiple thousand percent markup prices on sites like Ebay or Craigslist. By jarring them, by purposely attempting to provoke a strong reaction from such a useless and ultimately insignificant gesture, they're trying to show how pathetically obsessed we all are with the novelty of the Great Spectacle. Or maybe they just like making nerds cry.

Did you see the guy that smashed the PS3? Let's be honest. He was attention whoring.

Don't worry now...it'll be atleast 5 years before a new system comes out (unless there is a new Handeld sometime soon).
